Adri Mondello, 7, under the watchful eye of her grandparents, Lyn and Rocky Mondello, enjoys bouncing on the trampoline at the Family Fun Day 2012 at the Southwest Christian Center. She is the daughter of Amanda Madrid and Shiloh Mondello.

The annual Family Fun Day will be from noon to 3 p.m. at the Southwest Christian Center, Highway 180, near Cliff, just 30 miles west of Silver City. Come spend a relaxing day under the beautiful cottonwood trees, having family fun, renewing friendships, and making new ones.

This free family event begin with grilled hotdogs and ending with a jam session for musicians. The dedication of the new bath house, craft activities for children, a hayride tour of the property, horseshoes, a family kite flying area and target game will round out the day's activities. Families must provide their own kites for the contest.

The public is welcomed and a special invitation is extended to those who "have seen the sign and wondered what the Christian Center is all about."

The Southwest Christian Center was founded 35 years ago as a Christian camp for families and young people. Through the years, many youth have attended camps only to return now with their own families. Today it is still operating with the same purpose, to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ and equip Christians for service. The Center is available for rent by churches, families for reunions, and groups who do team building or training. For reservations and information, call Chris Bunts, 575-535-2722.
